The Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times Critic's Pick that served Broadway "raucous comedy and nonstop pleasure" has made its way home to Audible. Juicy is a queer, Southern college kid already grappling with some serious questions of identity when the ghost of his father shows up in their backyard, demanding that Juicy avenge his murder. But here’s the rub! Revenge doesn’t come easy to Juicy, a sensitive and self-aware young Black man in search of his own happiness and liberation.

Amazing. Incredible find in Plus Catalog.
Reviewed: 12-11-23
This dropped without fanfare into the Plus catalog and it's the next best thing to seeing it on Broadway. Sparkling script, bravura performances, and additional wrinkles to the underlying story (Hamlet) that I did not see coming. Do not miss this.

Aidan Thomas is a hard-working family man and a somewhat beloved figure in the small upstate New York town where he lives. He’s the kind of man who always lends a hand and has a good word for everyone. But Aidan has a dark secret he’s been keeping from everyone in town and those closest to him. He’s a kidnapper and serial killer. Aidan has murdered eight women and there’s a ninth he has earmarked for death: Rachel, imprisoned in a backyard shed, fearing for her life.

Michallon flips the script to terrific effect
Reviewed: 06-20-23
I was intrigued by this novel's exploration of the serial killer story from the victim's perspective. Michallon achieves much beyond an innovative construction for her tale, "The Quiet Tenant," which provides a skillful, moving portrait of the protagonist with incidents that reveal her character in engaging prose. Highly recommended.

This detective story is utterly compelling. The details around the mechanics of crypto and NFTs are fascinating and presented in a way that is easy to grasp. The presenter is a colorful personality, and it took me a few episodes to warm up to him, but he ultimately won me over.

Reviewed: 11-06-22
This show is laugh-out-loud funny. A spot-on performance by David Harbour brings the multi-layered comedy by Leah Beckmann and Max Silvestri to life.
I didn't know what this was when I clicked on it, but it's a find. Listen now and start laughing right away at this dry-as-bone satire on the media.

But what they don’t know is that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has a man on the inside. Can Darrin “Koz” Kozlowski survive long enough to bring them down from within?

Best writing & direction from Aud Original so far!
Reviewed: 09-27-22
This tightly-wrought, intensely compelling story grabbed me from the outset and pulled me along its crystal-clear action throughout, despite a bevy of characters (some with multiple identities) and scenes set all over LA. The acting in "Koz" is first-rate and delivered by a distinguished cast, but I have listened to Audible Originals that lost me through unclear storytelling despite terrific casts. Not so with "Koz," which is an apex production of a multifaceted tale. Highly recommended.

For four aging men in the terror-stricken town of Milburn, New York, an act inadvertently carried out in their youth has come back to haunt them. Now they are about to learn what happens to those who believe they can bury the past - and get away with murder. Peter Straub's classic best seller is a work of "superb horror" ( Washington Post Book World) that, like any good ghost story, stands the test of time - and conjures our darkest fears and nightmares.

"It" Precursor from 20th Century Horror Boom
Reviewed: 08-14-22
I read this for the first time in 2022. Straub's "Ghost Story" delivers to the point of excess. The horror in the novel is mainly compelling, but the whole feels like it could be shortened to heighten its effect. I was aware Stephen King is an admirer of Peter Straub's, but I didn't realize that King's "It" retells this type of story with children replacing Straub's adults.

A Terrific Reimagining of a Masterpiece
Reviewed: 06-02-22
This adaptation has picked up some less-than-enthusiastic ratings. Please don’t believe them. This listen is a terrific re-working of O’Neill’s most wrenching family play.
It’s troubling that no one has been given credit for cutting the script, but the edit is effective. The pared-down text retains the action essential to the characters and the story as well as frighteningly current references to the troubled economy and struggles with addiction.
The direction and acting are remarkable. The fresh interpretation provides listeners an almost voyeuristic glimpse into a family’s life that is all the more tragic because it is so accessible.
